...album closes with “Take Care,” which encapsulates the album’s exploration of the glowing, growing, capital “L?? kind of Love—“It’s no good unless it’s real, hill sides burning / Wild-eyed turning til we’re running from it.” The ultimate fade-out ends the LP on a thoroughly satisfying note...
...first phase of relief efforts must deal with the immediate catastrophic effects of the recent earthquake. The populations of hard-hit cities, such as Port-au-Prince, Jacmel, and L??ogâne must be evacuated immediately. Those who have relatives or the ability to establish themselves in other cities in Haiti should be facilitated in doing so. Those who are unable to do so should be sheltered in tent cities. The affected cities will essentially have to be leveled and rebuilt from the ground-up anyway. Why not move the people out of the way right...
...turning point came in 1923, when Gropius dismissed Itten and replaced him with the resolutely modern Hungarian Constructivist L??szl Moholy-Nagy. In the same year, the school mounted an exhibition with the no-nonsense title "Art and Technology--A New Unity." The painter Oskar Schlemmer announced the back-on-track Bauhaus ethic in a polemic that was only partly tongue in cheek: "Death to the past, to moonlight, and to the soul...
Building on the linguistic science developed by the pioneering semiotician Ferdinand de Saussure, L??vi-Strauss became a pivotal figure in the development of structuralism, which holds that universal mental structures underlie the behaviors, social relations and beliefs of virtually all societies in all eras. It was an idea with many critics, but in the 1960s, '70s and '80s, structuralism became a hugely influential school of thought, with offshoots--some of them just barely related to L??vi-Strauss's original thinking--in many other disciplines, including sociology and literature...

When he entered the field of anthropology in the 1930s, "primitive peoples" were regarded pretty much as just that--mindless and crude. L??vi-Strauss penetrated the intricacy of their myths and cultural practices and found tribal peoples to be sophisticated and intellectually curious, a picture of them he laid out in his 1962 book The Savage Mind. And in his four-volume Mythologies, he showed the immense complexity behind the stories tribal people use to explain the world...
